The Band Perry - If I Die Young
If i die young
bury me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
Lord make me a rainbow
shine it on my mother
she'll know im safe with you when she stands under my colors
oh and life aint always what you think it ought to be no
not even grey when she burys her baby
the sharp knife of a short life
well ive had just enough time
If i die young
bury me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
the sharp knife of a short life
well ive had just enough time
and ill be wearing white
when i come into your kingdom
im as green as the ring on my little cold finger
ive never known the lovin of a man but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
theres a boy here town says he'll love me forever
who wouldve thought that forever could be servered by
the sharp knife of a short life
well ive had just enough time
so put on your best boys
and ill wear my pearls
what i never did is done
a penny for my thoughts
oh no ill sell them for a dollar
their worth so much more after im a goner
and maybe then youll hear the words ive been singing
funny when your dead how people start listening
If i die young
bury me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
uh oh the ballad of a dove
go with a peice of love
gather up your tears and keep em in your pocket
save em for a time when your really gonna need them
the sharp knife of a short life
well ive had just enough time
so put on your best boys
and ill wear my pearls
